Customer Ratings & Reviews

Most of my external hard drive units are WD, and so far they have all be reliable. I loaded this one up, it was as quick as could be expected.

I bought this on sale and at half of the MSRP (slightly more than price of a 4TB NAS drive). Considering it has a WD Red NAS drive inside, it is a bargain.

What can I say. Plenty of space, extremely dependable and a pretty quick drive for its size. Oh and wd quality and dependability.

Great drive to shuck for a NAS. Super easy to shuck and got a 10TB WD "White label" pretty much a red drive with a different FW.

I open it it up and it's a white label 8TB drive, works fine in my NAS. Follow the youtube instruction to open the case.

This is a great buy for backing up non-essential stuff. It's pretty fast and way cheaper than a lot of other options because it's always on sale.

I got this to use alongside my ps4 pro as extended storage and it worked awesomely. Simple to set up and works well.

Worked fine at first, then popped-up a corrupted directory message - Had to reformat and reinstall the WD Backup program, and start all over (hours of archiving files were wasted) - It is working now, but I'm not trusting the system. So, am having to duplicate the backups and archive on a 2nd system, for insurance.

I bought this to use for extended storage on my PS4 Pro, it works great and I have tons of space. I have over 130 games and still have over 6TB remaining!

I added this drive to my new computer as a backup external drive and it is perfect! It was so easy to install - highly recommend it!

We use this for our business and it is a quality product. Very easy to use and would recommend this product to anyone.

These 8 TB WD drives are solid, reliable and fast for Spiny drives. The drive inside is basically a WD Red 8 TB and it's a great value.

Purchased this drive at a great Best Buy price to use in my synology server. Works great and it is a lot cheaper than purchasing the internal Red Drives.

It's a big hard drive, decently fast over USB 3.0, didn't install the software that came with it, just let Windows control it. No complaints so far.

Western Digital has always been consistently reliable. My go to brand for internal and external storage.

I don't ever think I will fill it ! It stores all my photos from all the years. It like my own photo gallery. I have stored all of my old game on it.

Got it on sale and got a great deal. Tons of storage space attached to my router. Only thing that's not a "5" is that since it's so large it takes a few seconds longer to spool up than a smaller drive. Not a real "problem" at all though.

It awesome to be able to travel with so much available storage. It's a little slow but I'm used to ssd. It is definitely fast enough to get the job done!

WD EasyStore 8 TB USB 3.0 External Harddrive in Black has become a solid part of my workflow when backing up video editing projects. Solid & Dependable.

The setup was a little finicky, but once it was done it worked perfectly fine.
